The New York and New Jersey Campaign
During the American Revolutionary War, New York was a theater for a series of battles. These battles were called the New York campaign. Leading the British forces was General Howe against the American George Washington.
Washington divided about 20,000 men between Long Island and Manhattan. Meanwhile, the British troops were assembling on Staten Island. Washington ultimately lost due to being outnumbered, with the red coats having around 22,000 men. Fortunately, Washington was able to escape to Kingsbridge with his small army.

Sorry for not posting my comments on your webpage. I complimented the fine focus of your work in class but failed to transfer my sentiment here. You did a great job distilling the information down so as to answer the question directly. I like the fact that you went beyond cutting and pasting material.
